The pictures above are chosen from the artist Ben Goossens. As you can tell, the one on the bottom is the original one and the one on top is the re-framed one. As you can tell, these two photos share a lot more affinity in comparison. The reason why I re-framed this part of the photo is because I think that this part of the photo goes along a lot better by itself than using the whole photo as one. The re-framed photo has a lot more contrast to it than the original photo itself because the line and shape of the bird is more abstract whereas the egg in the cage is a lot more concrete. The lines being perceived by the cage and the egg are both going the same way. the face in the egg is facing up so there is this virtual line being perceived which goes parallel to the direction of the lines on the cage. You can also see the school building in the far background making these lines going vertical. The eggs are even standing straight up, creating another virtual line going vertical. The type of shot that is being used in both these photos is an extreme long shot. The reason for this is because you can see a very long horizon and you can not even see where it stops. the depth cues in the re-framed picture has really changed since I took out the main object in the original picture. The original picture had a very large foreground object which the bird-like creature used for a sense of depth. Now that the cage with the egg in it was removed, the bird-like creature now uses the school building as a background object for  sense of depth. In the new re-framed picture, you can also see a couple of eggs that the bird can also use as a sense of depth.
